Publisher's Synopsis

Sport And War: Or Recollections Of Fighting And Hunting In South Africa From The Years 1834 To 1867 (1875) is a book written by John Jarvis Bisset. The book is a memoir of Bisset's experiences in South Africa during the years 1834 to 1867. Bisset was a soldier and a hunter, and his recollections provide a unique perspective on the conflicts and wildlife of the region during this time period. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on Bisset's experiences in the military, including his involvement in the Kaffir Wars and the Zulu War. The second part of the book is devoted to Bisset's experiences as a hunter, with stories of his encounters with lions, elephants, and other big game animals. Throughout the book, Bisset provides vivid descriptions of the South African landscape, the people he encountered, and the animals he hunted. The book is a fascinating account of a bygone era, and provides a valuable historical perspective on the region.With A Narrative Of H.R.H.
